CurriculumAbstractMEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) and nanotechnology are believed to be theexciting drive to trigger the next wave of technology revolution. MEMS refer to systemsin micro scale (1 micron to 1 millimeter) that integrates mechanical components, sensors,actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through micromachiningtechnology. Due to its low cost, small size, light weight and high resolution, MEMS hasbeen widely used in automobiles, medical health care, aerospace, consumer products andRF communications. Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science and technologyabout materials and devices in the atomic and molecular scale, normally 1 to 100nanometers. It can offer better built, longer lasting, cleanser, safer and
